League One Results 2nd November 2010 (Part 1)

Brentford 1-1 Bournemouth
A penalty from Brentford earned them a share of the points against Bournemouth, despite the fact they didn’t actually have a shot on target (penalties don’t count). Bournemouth slip out of the play-off places as a result – they have won only one away match this season.
Rhoys Wiggins played the full match for Bournemouth. The BBC Sport report says his free kick was the assist for Bournemouth’s goal but the live text on the same site doesn’t agree.

Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 Exeter City
Have the Exeter players been snogging the MK Dons players? At any rate, Exeter became the second League One side of the weekend to be depleted by illness as Brighton stretched their unbeaten league run to twelve matches. Brighton are eight points clear at the top of the table
This was perhaps the reason why Richard Duffy was on Exeter’s bench but he was replaced by Rob Edwards so it could have been worse. Rob had a controversial moment with a member of the opposition but the referee didn’t see it and even if he did, the sight of a player clutching his face is always one to be viewed with suspicion. Daniel Nardiello wasn’t supposed to be fit for this match but he was not only on the bench, he was a 56th-minute substitute.

Colchester United 3-2 Leyton Orient
Colchester manager John Ward didn’t feel Colchester deserved to be 2-0 down after eighteen minutes and his players ensured they weren’t 2-0 down at the end of the match. Orient are still without an away win this season
Lee Beevers has made a lot of substitute appearances really so Colchester decided it was Lloyd James’ turn to come off the bench.

Hartlepool United A-A Notts County
This match was abandoned with the scores at 0-0 due to the weather conditions. The pitch was already waterlogged and it was still raining.
Ben Davies started for Notts County and had a shot saved.


Milton Keynes Dons 3-2 Yeovil Town
MK Dons manager Karl Robinson said he thought the MK Dons players were all too ill for him to name any substitutes. Luckily for him, he did manage to name four substitutes, not including a goalkeeper, which is apparently a lot more than they had in the old days and MK Dons won a late penalty and won the match – they now have six wins and two draws from their eight home games.
Jermaine Easter came off the bench after 69 minutes for MK Dons.
Nathan Jones, Shaun MacDonald, Owain Tudur Jones and Gavin Williams all started for Yeovil. Nathan probably enjoyed the game the most, getting his second assist in successive matches while
for Shaun it would have been more disappointing as he conceded a penalty, causing MK Dons to take the lead and win the match.
